Student participation in the
decision-making processes at
UH has been increasing steadily
over the years. Several giant
steps were taken last year to
assure students a voice in
university affairs.
In an effort to give students
a greater role in determining
policy, the College of Arts and
Sciences created the Council of
21. This council is composed of
a student representative from
the 21 departments within the
college.
In October a University Issues Conference was held in
Galveston. Important issues facing the university were discussed in the informal atmosphere of the resort city by students, faculty and admisitrators.
Dean resigns
Architecture students again
challenged the leadership and
architectural principles of the
administration of the college.
The college's clean, Eugene
George, announced his resignation shortly afterward.
The annual Leadership Conference, sponsored by Omicron
Delta Kappa, was held in November at Camp Manison in
Friendswood. Its purpose was to
continue discourse on university
problems.
Under newly adopted by-laws,
a student majority on the
Student Publications Committee
was seated for the first time in
the history of that body.
Above left, Dean Alfred Neumann presides
at the first Council of 21 meeting. Richard
Poston, President Hoffman and Vice-President Bill Yardley greet students at Student
Life open house.
